Hi folks! Whatchy'all been doin'? Me? Well, lookie here what I got in the mail yesterday!
This gift is from Sunny at Sunny's Place. She is doing a "Pay It Forward" giveaway. I'm participating, too. Look at the lovely things she sent my way - a beautiful candle holder and votive, some handmade (by Sunny) candles from her real beeswax when she was raising bees (wait - I mean beekeeping), a little windchime that makes the sweetest sounds and this sweet book entitled His Princess, Love Letters From the King, which is just grand. I can't wait to read it. Short devotions that I will be able to share with my daughter about the love that our Heavenly Father has for his daughters in Christ.
Sunny, Thanks so much for this lovely gift. I know I'm going to enjoy it immensely. Now, I have 3 sweet friends that I am "paying it forward" to, so they will be getting something from me very soon!!!
Got WORMS???
Well, WE GOT 'EM! Hornworms that is - on the tomato plants. They are huge. They start out little bitty and in a day or two or three they've eaten enough of the plants that they are engorged and sure make a mess when you snip 'em in half with your garden shears. They leave little poops everywhere, too. I wanted to just snip 'em, but Tony said he was gonna leave 'em in the metal pot in the sunshine... They've bitten holes in some of the tomatoes, too. I've dusted with Sevin so we'll see...
Got baby birds? Yes? We do, too, baby mockingbirds. The nest is in front of my kitchen window in the crepe myrtle tree. I can do the dishes and watch the mama bird stuffing bugs down their throats. I'm keeping an eye on 'em to see when they jump out of the nest or fall out. We've got cats all around. I guess I should just let nature take its course.
Good night, friends. I'm sleepy. Take good care of yourselves and I'll see ya on the flipside!
